Man thrown from window in I-78 crash

A Chambersburg man was thrown from the driver-side window and seriously injured in a crash on Interstate 78 in Salisbury Township on Saturday afternoon.

The accident caused traffic delays in the eastbound and westbound lanes.

Vehicles driven by Michael Wieczorek, 50, of Nazareth, and Douglas McGowan, 63, of Chambersburg, were on the Summit Lawn exit ramp from I-78 eastbound when traffic slowed about noon, according to state police at Fogelsville.

McGowan reduced his speed, but Wieczorek failed to slow down in time, rear-ending McGowan, police said.

McGowan was ejected from the driver-side window as his vehicle rolled over, police said.

McGowan was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital with major injuries, while Wieczorek received minor cuts and was cited for driving at an unsafe speed, according to police.
